I recently bought a '99 Ranger about 3 months ago to go to work and back...
Anyways, the past couple of days the clutch pedal began to act weird. It would go almost all the way to the floor and I would have about an inch or two of clutch manipulation right at the floorboard. I topped off the master cylinder reservoir and did a little research and found how to bleed the line to fix the problem from this link: http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/bleedclutch.htm
Ok, bleed the line and it only got worse. Now when I open the bleed valve nothing comes out. Nothing comes out when the clutch is pumped either. I have the reservoir topped off and nothing is making it to the bleed valve. From my understanding from using the "How to bleed a hydraulic clutch" my master slave cylinder is out.
Any thoughts or ideas on what else could possibly be the problem before I haul it to the shop and get charged tons of money?
Thanks in advance for any help!
